Part 5: Web application development using AngularJS, Spring Boot and Maven – Support for eBird APIs, HTML 5 Geolocation and Google Geocoding

By ⋅ March 18, 2014 ⋅ Post a comment

In my previous post, I completed the first phase of my Bird Log application. I can use this application to view my current sightings and add new sightings. I also implemented very basic support for content filtering. In this post, I am going to use eBird APIs to display current bird sightings reported on ebird.org, near my current location. I plan to use HTML5 Geolocation APIs to find out my current location automatically and then use Google Geocoding APIs to map my current Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) to a human-readable address.

Part 4 : Web application development using AngularJS, Spring Boot and Maven – BirdLog Application

By ⋅ March 14, 2014 ⋅ One comment

In my previous posts (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3), I developed a starter web application using AngularJS, Bootstrap, Spring Boot and Maven. In this post, I am going use this starter app to build the Bird Log app.

What is Bird Log?

The Bird Log is a simple web-based, Single Page Application (SPA), used to record my bird sightings.
This application:

  • Displays my recorded sightings in a tabular format
  • Supports sorting and filtering
  • Provides a way to log new sightings
  • Uses eBird APIs to find the latest bird sightings near my current location reported on eBird
  • Implements HTML5 Geocoding APIs to find my current location
  • Implements Google Geocoding APIs to map latitude/longitude to the location/address
  • Uses RESTful web services to interact with the server that handles the data (To keep it simple, data is stored in the memory for now)

Part 3 : Web application development using AngularJS, Spring Boot and Maven – Beautify using Bootstrap

By ⋅ March 12, 2014 ⋅ Post a comment

In the previous post, I added AngularJS support to my base Spring Boot Application. In this post, I am going to integrate Bootstrap CSS and Javascript framework to make it pretty.

Configuring Bootstrap

  • Make sure that Bootstrap CSS and Javascript files are included in the application.
    Note: Bootstrap package was already downloaded using Bower. See the previous post for more details.

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" >

    and

    <script src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script >
<script src="bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"></script >

Part 2 : Web application development using AngularJS, Spring Boot and Maven – Adding AngularJS support

By ⋅ March 10, 2014 ⋅ 3 comments

In my previous post, I created a project for a simple web application using Spring Boot and Maven. I want to take it further and add AngularJS support to the setup.

I am an avid birder so I am going to develop a Bird Log app to log my bird sightings. Recently, I was introduced to AngularJS and have become a big fan of this framework. I am going to develop a Single Page Application (SPA) using AngularJS and Twitter Bootstrap Framework for HTML and CSS.

Part 1 : Web application development using AngularJS, Spring Boot and Maven – Setup

By ⋅ March 8, 2014 ⋅ Post a comment

I have been using Spring Framework and Maven for my enterprise application development for long time now. I am a big fan of Spring Framework but a typical Maven and Spring based application requires a fair amount XML configuration to get started.

Along comes the new Spring initiative called Spring Boot that aims at accelerating application development. As per Spring Boot website, it takes an opinionated view of building production-ready Spring applications. Spring Boot favors convention over configuration and is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible. You can use it to create stand-alone Java applications that can be started using ‘java -jar’ or more traditional WAR deployments. (more…)
